Who has done one of these? Have a nice day :D Xavier

Highlights from 2014 Qc Circuit Final: Xavier Therien vs Jeremy Hazin

Hi Rajd, I have been very pleased with the Omega V Pro. To me, it felt like a significant upgrade over Omega IV Pro. It is slightly softer, providing a longer ball contact. It's much easier to grab the ball and put more spin with less effort, resulting in more consistent top spin and better...

The blade I currently use is Xiom Vega Euro. Before that I've used Xiom Hayabusa ZXi. Thanks Amayzde, I will definitely try that one. If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know as I'm planning to try a few before making a final choice. Thanks

I've recently tried 2 Donic blades rated 9+ for speed (with Bluefire M1 and Bluefire M1 Turbo). Strangely, I didn't feel fully satisfied with the speed generated. I'm wondering if this has to do with the new plastic ball - we currently use the Double Fish in training which has a relatively soft...

As promised, I have collected the opinions of 5 international umpires. They are unanimous, although they all admitted this was a very difficult question because the rules don’t clearly cover this particular case. They had to use their judgment and experience to answer. Here’s the question they...

Hi Josep, nice to meet you here too :) I find you point of view is also legitimate, so I've decided to ask some international umpires. I will collect their responses and share on the forum. Stay tuned...

My video is now in top 5, voting phase is started… Thanks all ! :D http://www.ittf.com/TrickShot/

My opinion is that the ball did not have one contact with the table. It had an infinity of contacts because it touched the table with more than one single point on its surface. I'd be happy to hear this confirmed by an international umpire! :-)

Thanks Dan for sharing! I bet people will still talk about that shot for many years... :-) Xavier

You could give Omega V Euro a try. I've been sponsored by Xiom in the last 2 years and I found the Omega V that came out fairly recently is a significant improvement over Omega IV. I've been playing with Omega V Pro/Asia, which are fairly hard (but I found Omega V Pro to be softer than Omega IV...

I've just noticed my #trickshot video on ITTF front page: http://ittf.com/trickshot/ I can't be grateful enough! :-)

Has anyone tried Donic Bluefire Turbo rubbers? I'm going to try these out very shortly: Bluefire M1 Bluefire M1 Turbo Bluefire JP 01 turbo I like relatively hard rubbers (I've been using Xiom Omega V Pro/Asia). Any opinion welcome. Thanks, Xavier

Thanks so much Dan for your support with Table Tennis Daily! And thanks for everyone that view/like/share it :-)

Hmm.. Getting views is already hard enough, if we need to compete with bots, the game is over. "ITTF was aware of this" - but really, is there anything they can do? Can this be determined with certainty?

Way too long! :D 2 weeks at several hours per day. Construction phase took at least half the time. The ball easily goes off track unless angles, level and throw are perfect. And absorbing the bounce on the table without reducing horizontal speed was quite tricky... During the shooting phase, I...

I believe I have a good #trickshot: extremely hard to execute and entertaining to watch (I hope!) But... views are low. Can't seem to reach top 5. I've already shared on Facebook, forums, etc. Ideas anyone? Thanks, Xavier P.s. I forgot... please like and share - thank you!

If you like my #trickshot, please help me with the contest and share it around - thank you!! Xavier

Humoristic video featuring Samson Dubina (USA) and Xavier Thérien (Canada): Hopefully you'll be able to tell who's who after watching this! ;) Xavier
